Voice of the Introverts

 The world stole the symbol of the rainbow and made it into something representing a lifestyle that is completely against the promise that God made for the future. The world tends to do that with scripture – turn it into something that they can live with to assuage their guilt from choosing to go against the Words of the One who created them.

   “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”  Isaiah 5:20-21

 The last article I wrote was about the queen of hearts and this being a time when the insane were running things. The Lindsay Clancy trial had taken over the media and I was stumped as to why this was such a big deal. I did not realize at the time that apparently hand-picked to be in such sympathy with the post-partum depression that Ms.Clancy was going through. One lone juror said no to her acquittal. One. 

 The headlines get worse and worse. I am not worried about me at all. I am on the latter end of my race. No, I am not sick, readers. I am sick of the news. I hate to turn it on. The ridiculous left trying to foist socialism on the country so that we will know how it feels to everyone to be equal. Then, like the novel Animal Farm, everyone is equal but some are more equal than others. That sounds like the Bernie Sanders and all the other clowns that have invaded what should be sacred halls of Washington D.C.

Once, in a faraway land, in the city of New Antsterdam, a new generation of ants came about. This generation of ants was educated by a new group of educators that had immigrated from another continent because of political uprisings. 

I have been watching all the weird stuff going on in the world. You too, know what I am talking about if you have been watching things happening. The world is crazy, stupid, insane, or to put it in perspective – void of common sense. If you think about it, it should not surprise you at all. We were told that this would happen and it is unfolding right before our eyes, so do not get too surprised at any of it. 

This article was written about two years ago. I am going to take a few minutes to append to it just a little.

This coming weekend a new movie is coming out about aliens. A very famous Hollywood director that has done several alien themed movies in the past has decided to add a new one to his repertoire. I saw a quote from this man recently that he felt this movie would make many Christians doubt their faith.

My first reaction to this is to avoid this movie altogether. My second reaction is to say if you go to see this movie, please take it with a grain of salt – this is a fictional movie with a lot of green screen fake imagery and convoluted story lines about people having been abducted.

It is though, something that will cause the unsaved to believe when the rapture happens that we have been abducted by aliens.

Now from this point on is what I wrote before, so it apparently wasn’t far-fetched at all:

I guess it is a natural thing for humans to wonder what is out in space. I do not how long man has thought that there are little green men or other life forms out there. It was a little before my time (I would have been in the single digits still), but “B”science fiction movies in the 1950s possibly began the trend in my lifetime. The government and NASA apparently in the 40s and 50s were collaborating to be the first humans in space. We had to beat the “Ruskies”. Then, in my starting remembrance, Lost In Space came to television and then Star Trek. I sort of think it was at this point that mens’ imaginations began to run wild. I think it parallels nicely with the tower of Babel in Genesis 11. The whole world decided together that they would build a tower that would reach up to God. God watched for awhile, and then just confused them so much with languages that they all had to stop and go their separate ways. They actually imagined that they could do it. I can just see in Heaven, the angels still bring this up at coffee breaks and everyone up there is swapping stories about those crazy mortals.

Opinions.  Everyone has one. Opinion is a three-syllable word that when someone gives one that offends everyone, and it seems to offend the person giving it if no one listens. 

   With today’s internet, anyone can give everyone their opinion instantly, no matter what time of day it is. One of the main problems with that is people seem to spout off their opinion without thinking about whether it is offensive, dirty, or just plain stupid. I emphasize that last one because I have a tendency to say and write things before I think about whether it will offend someone, or just show my ignorance on the subject. If you don’t really know a lot about the subject you should probably just keep your mouth shut. Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying: “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”

“For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”     Galatians 6:3

We have already established that I am not good at being any type of demonstrative. I believe it is good to be able to have the attitude of confidence; I would like to have a measure of that. I have been seeing lately, an attitude of Christian people, even leaders, that is a little scary to me. What happened to humbleness of heart and mind. I know sometimes I am a little pathetic because I can’t speak publicly or even join in normal conversations, but there are some that know everything about everything (yeah, right)! These are Christian people, setting themselves up to be superior to others (even in the guise of discipling others, get a grip on that ego)!

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”  Jude 21

You are asking yourself why I am writing another one of these boring blog articles. Sometimes I ask myself the same question. Why would any introverted person keep trying to do this? I am again, not sure. I know that I need to tell others about Christ, and I have to do that in the only way I can communicate. 

“And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and nashing of teeth.” Matthew 13:50

Over two thousand years ago humanity was finally given some direction. A star pointed to a place in Bethlehem where God sent to the world a Savior, His Son, to point us into the direction of eternal life. The curse of sin was, and is, still on this world, but we have been given a rare gift. It is our choice to receive or refuse, but it is the gift of eternal life. It is a gift, because it was freely given and it was first introduced to us by the simple sign of a star leading people to that gift. In the scriptures we are told the ones that followed that star for at least two years were wise men. Today, we should consider those that choose not to follow that star, if those that follow it are wise, what should we consider those that go the other direction to be (hint: the opposite is foolish). (Don’t come down on me, this is Scriptural).
